The Armchair Generals Are at It Again

Here we go again.  These times are certainly exciting for armchair generals, like me.

I read an interesting article by Larry Johnson (sonar21.com) talking about the difficulty of Trump/Israel sustaining an air war against Iran by using aircraft.  Iran will fight back with (repaired) air defense, missiles, and drones.

American aircraft are maintenance-intensive.  Missiles and drones aren't.  Aircraft needs pilots who receive years of training.  Missiles and drones only need electronics and computers.

Of course the Zionist axis has missiles and drones, too.  But they have depleted much of their supply with a losing war in Ukraine.  How fast can they manufacture new missiles and drones?

Consider China's role in the war against Iran.  Iran is an important energy supplier to China.  Wouldn't it be a great opportunity for China to test its missiles and drones in combat?  China's manufacturing base is huge compared to post-industrial Europe and America.  China needs to test its missiles and drones before the neocon Trump administration starts fighting them over Taiwan and the South China Sea.

As for aiding Iran, China should simply deny its involvement, as Trump and NATO have done with their wars.

The American empire's waning rulership over planet Earth is based on obsolete military technologies such as aircraft carriers and boutique aircraft.  Their air defense systems are mediocre.  The waning American economy is based on debt and financial engineering.  Trump has killed off American diplomacy.  Israel has made itself a pariah state.

BRICS strength is based on diplomacy, energy, a strong manufacturing base, and manufacturable weapons rather than boutique weapons.  If BRICS can act in concert, it will supersede the American empire.
